【purple Sweet Potato Mantou】
1.
200g plain flour
2.
1 purple sweet potato about 100 grams
3.
Wash the purple sweet potato, peel and cut into thin slices, sprinkle a small amount of water, put it in the microwave on high heat for 5 minutes
4.
Take it out while it's hot and press it into a puree with a spoon
5.
Sprinkle salt into the flour and add yeast. Because the actual amount of water cannot be estimated. After adding the yeast into the water, the yeast will be wasted if the water is not used up, so I directly add the yeast to the flour
6.
Stir the yeast, salt and flour well and then pour in a small amount of warm water in batches
7.
Stir it into a flocculent shape with chopsticks while pouring
8.
Start by kneading the dough into a ball. After the dough is kneaded, mix the mashed potato into the dough and knead repeatedly to make the color uniform
9.
Cover and ferment for 40 minutes;
10.
After 40 minutes, the dough has almost doubled its original size. Vent the dough. This time it’s better than last time.
11.
Knead the fermented dough back to its original size and knead it repeatedly for about 10 minutes. Shi Xin said in the log that the longer the kneading time, the smoother the buns will be. If you are strong, please continue to knead for another 10 minutes!
12.
Then transfer the dough to a dry floured chopping board and knead it into long strips, and cut them into equal parts. I cut the dough into four parts, and knead the two pieces together to make a round steamed bun.
13.
Put the cut area of the knife together to form it, and pass it in dry flour, so that it will not stick together, and there is no need to oil the steaming rack, and it will not stick to the pan when taken after cooking.
14.
Put the steamed bun embryo on the steamer rack, cover the pot and continue to wake up for 15 minutes, then turn on the fire directly, and then steam for 10-15 minutes after the water is boiled to turn off the fire
15.
Continue to cover and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes and then uncover. I also added a layer of steamer to steam other things, but water drops on the steamed buns. The appearance was not very good, but this time it was very beautiful, and it tasted soft and chewy.
